After the grand jury adjourned, Assistant
District Attorney Davis said the inquiry
into the Ives and Staynor case was most
thorough. They went into the whole history
of Ives connection with the Mineral Range
Railroad company, and decided not to find
an indictment by an also unanimous vote.
Three or four favored finding indictments,
leaving about twenty opposed to such
course. Ives was subjected to a scare hing
examination. In MS statement he said that
he came into possession of the road by buy
ing up all the shares and paying for them
at the rate of thirty cents on the dollar.
He set about organizing the corporation,
and his frat step was to make IvOs & Com

He next undertook to increase the termi-

sary TO attain this was the purchase of the
Hancock & Canada Metal road He had
alao to build other lines and purchase vast
amount Of rolling stock. To do this he was
obliged to issue additional stocks and bonds.
The bylaws of the corporation provided for
such proceeding. he accordingly issued
the stock, which he disposed OF at pre-.
MUM. There was nothing in Ives books to
show that the transactions had not been en-.

refusal to indict him.
